Report: Apple’s Cook, Meta’s Zuckerberg among Seahawks suitors
Tech titans Mark Zuckerberg and Tim Cook are among the parties interested in buying the Seattle Seahawks, Front Office Sports reported Thursday.
The Seahawks have been up for sale by the estate of late owner Paul Allen since shortly after winning Super Bowl LX in February.
Allen, the Microsoft co-founder who purchased the team in 1997 for $194 million, died in 2018. The team’s most recent valuation by Forbes was $6.7 billion.
The investment bank Allen & Co., which is handling the sale, declined to comment on the FOS report.
Meta founder Zuckerberg has a net worth of more than $206 billion, according to Forbes.
Cook recently announced that he is stepping down as Apple’s CEO to become the executive chairman of its board of directors. Forbes listed Cook’s net worth at nearly $3 billion.
The FOS report said there are at least two other potential bidders for the Seahawks.
